  • Patent number: 11778246
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate a coordination between QAM and adaptive bitrate content delivery. Location information associated with a device may be utilized to identify and retrieve advertisements or alternate content for placement into a stream that is carrying requested content. Advertisement or alternate content may be placed into a stream based on retrieved placement information. The placement information may be resolved from one format to another depending upon a specific mode of delivery that is selected for delivering the stream to a media device.

  • Publication number: 20230259971
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate real-time advertisement verification. Advertisement media may be tagged with one or more tag identifiers. One or more remote probes may retrieve tag identifier(s) from advertisement media and output tag information to a centralized verification system. The centralized verification system may compare tag information retrieved from remote probes to expected advertisement placement parameters. The centralized verification system may verify that appropriate advertisement media has been spliced into expected channels or streams. When a splicing error has been detected, the centralized verification system may initiate changes to correct the splicing error.

  • Publication number: 20190266646
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate real-time advertisement preparation. An advertisement preparation system may retrieve requested advertisement media from a third party source. Based upon an identification of a targeted client device that is to receive the advertisement media, the advertisement preparation system may determine delivery specifications associated with the targeted client device. The advertisement preparation system may transcode the retrieved advertisement media according to the delivery specifications associated with the targeted client device, and the transcoded advertisement media may be delivered to the targeted client device.
